Description
DEYA Brewing Company is an independent brewery in Cheltenham, UK. We focus on hoppy beers, lagers, traditional UK styles and mixed fermentation ales. We strive to make world class beer.

Theo founded DEYA in 2015 having become obsessed with American beer and beer culture. In January 2016, Theo picked up the keys to a 4,000ft2 industrial unit in Cheltenham. Once the 10bbl brewery kit was installed, the burgeoning DEYA team dedicated themselves to producing the most delicious pale ales, IPAs and hoppy beers that they could. In 2017, following more national and international acclaim, brewing capacity is doubled with the addition of three 40HL fermentation vessels. In March 2018, a 1000 cans per hour canning line was purchased to complement the four new 40HL fermentation vessels that were to be added in October. This move takes capacity to 3,500HL. In 2019 year we are expanding into a new 25,000 sq/ft premises and installing a bespoke 40hl 4 vessel brewhouse allowing us to significantly increase capacity.

We take a holistic approach to business, striving to be the best employer we possibly can be, while operating in a fair, sustainable and human driven way.

Keep on Crocin’

375 ml bottle, vintage 2021, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 5.7%. Slightly hazy and very pale straw colour, small white head. Aroma of brettanomyces and "spicy" Belgian yeast, hints of fermenting pears and other fermenting fruits. Moderately sour and "spicy" flavour, with the same elements as the aroma, some citrus. Refreshing.

500ml can. Murky yellow with a creamy white head, well retained. Aroma of ripe tropical fruits, lime, melon. Taste is dominated by (Motueka*) lime zest, lemon, ripe tropical fruits, a strange savoury note I can't put my finger on, more zesty citrus. Medium-full bodied, very soft, smooth.

* So this single hop series beer actually has 3 hops in it. And it's Motueka that dominates rather than the Anchovy this beer was named for. No idea what Deya were thinking changing the formula up like this but it's a shame because Anchovy is an interesting hop that deserves a proper showcase. I hope future beers in this "single hop" series don't forget this most salient point - it defeats the entire purpose of the series.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, airy and slightly soft, decent fine carbonation coming developing late. Smooth light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Dolcita dominates the hops. Smooth coconut and pineapple going well with the soft cooling pine. A light hop spice nibble.Motueka does its lovely lime thing but, it masks the Sorachi lime aspect of Dolcita. My van says there is Citra hops in here, makes sense, a soft citrus background. Light finish. A harmonious and flavoursome dipa that goes down very easily.

Can from Eskbank Trading. Hazy golden body with a few flecks beneath a thick off-white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of coconut, lime and pine. Flavour of herbs, lime chutney and grass. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. An unusual and interesting IPA, with notes similarly to beers that use Talus, Sabro and Sorachi Ace hops.
